Week 5 QB Rankings — Sponsored by SKYLLZONE

Did you survive Bye-mageddon, as Bob Harris of FootballDiehards.com called it? Six teams had early byes in Week 4, and teams had to scramble to fill their lineups. Our Week 5 QB rankings brings back Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson into the fold.

Aaron Rodgers is starting to put it together, while Drew Brees and Matthew Stafford are heating up as well. All three are coming off one of their best weeks of the season.

Philip Rivers and Jay Cutler are proving to be great late-round byes in most Fantasy drafts. We’ll see if Cutler can stay healthy and if Rivers can overcome injuries to his running backs.

We’re also looking at several disappointments at the position, headlined by Tom Effing Brady, who has just one touchdown pass in each game so far. Nick Foles and Colin Kaepernick have been good, but inconsistent, and some quarterbacks are already being replaced (or are in danger of it), as E.J. Manuel and Geno Smith look like weak sophomore QBs.
